Steven,
You might want to consider Gerald Stone's CoreMicroeconomics (2005),
available at http://www.coreeconomics.com/MicroTextLink.htm
Learning Technology Press: Littleton, CO. The text is available online
for free, but you cannot print from the free online version. Also free
on the book's website is a set of computer Animated Lectures on several
more difficult graphical concepts.
The CD of the Micro text in a printable pdf file is available for $25,
which comes with 2 soft cover study guides, and audio summaries of the
chapters on the CD in MP3 format.
For your purposes, I would think that the free online text would be the
way to go, however.

This coming Fall I'm teaching a first year seminar on globalization. I
anticipate having to teach students some basic economic tools, something
like what is covered in the first few weeks of a principles course:
scarcity, trade-offs, opportunity cost, comparative advantage and
exchange, up to theories of supply, demand and market equilibrium. I
don't think I can justify asking students to purchase a standard
economics text, so I'm looking for online resources to cover these
concepts. Can anyone suggest some?
Thanks,
- Steve
